Augmented Code Configuration

Reusable AI agent configurations for development workflows. Designed for XP/TDD practitioners who want consistent, high-quality AI assistance.

See this post for more info: My Base Setup for Augmented Coding with AI

How to use it

If you want to use this configuration yourself:

• Fork or clone eferro/augmentedcode-configuration.
• Adjust .agents/rules/base.md for your preferred language or conventions.
• Point your IDE or CLI agents to those files.
• Use .agents/rules/ai-feedback-learning-loop.md to help your agents reflect on sessions and evolve the rules. (During or after a session, I often run the AI Feedback Learning Loop by asking the agent to apply the ai-feedback-learning-loop.md so it can suggest improvements to the rules based on what we've learned.)
• Experiment — see how it feels to work with a single, unified, and self-improving set of rules across AI tools.

Repository Structure

Key Concept

One ruleset, multiple entry points. All AI agents use the same rules defined in .agents/rules/base.md. The symlinks (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) allow each tool to find the rules in its expected location.

Available Commands

Cursor IDE slash commands. Copy to .cursor/commands/ or adapt for other tools:

Command	Purpose
plt-code-review	Review pending changes (tests, maintainability, rules)
plt-increase-coverage	Identify and test high-value untested code
plt-plan-untested-code	Create actionable plan to cover untested code
plt-predict-problems	Predict likely production failures
plt-mikado-method	Guide safe, incremental refactoring
plt-technical-debt	Catalog and prioritize technical debt
plt-xp-simple-design-refactor	Apply XP Simple Design principles
plt-security-analysis	Pragmatic security risk analysis

Usage

For Cursor IDE

# Copy commands and rules
cp -r .cursor /path/to/your/project/

For Other AI Tools

Copy the appropriate symlink or create one pointing to base.md:

# Example: for Claude
ln -s .agents/rules/base.md CLAUDE.md

Philosophy

These configurations enforce:

• TDD: Test-first, one failing test at a time
• Baby Steps: Small, incremental changes
• Simple Design: Clarity over cleverness
• High Quality: Strict validation before commits
